Bollywood dancing during PCC's Diwali celebration

Diwali at PCC

Our Diversity journey

PCC’s Diversity journey continues to advance, thanks to the leadership and commitment of a great many staff. 2013 milestones included:

Annual Black History Month celebration in February featuring:

guest speaker, Dr. Lew Golding of CAMH;

a lunch celebration with food, dance, music, and spoken word; and

daily facts, weekly quizzes and prizes to make learning FUN!

A round of applause for our PCC and Nexus Black History Month Committee members Garth Buckley, Darren Dennie, Aliyah Douglas, Lorianne Fedée, Joanne Leo, Coralie Martens, Jona Ombao and Danita Thompson for organizing this year’s presentations and events for all of us to enjoy.

A Diwali celebration in November organized by Sukh Bassi, Pearl Fernandez, Bhupinder Heer, Deepa Kaushik, Amrit Khaper, Randeep Mann, Meena Radhakrishnan and Kothai Sandrasegaran. Highlights of the celebration included staff Bollywood dancers, who were coached by Deepa; and a buffet provided by the members of the organizing committee. Bravo, “Diwali Diwaz,” chefs and organizers!
